Getting Married and Making it Official: 

Back in 2006, the Honorable Supreme Court, in the case of Seema Vs Ashwani Kumar, made it mandatory for all Indians from different religions to register their marriages in the state where the marriage takes place. To make it official, a married couple needs a marriage certificate from Arya Samaj Mandir or Gurudwara, along with marriage photographs, proof of date of birth, and two witnesses, preferably parents.

For those who choose love over tradition, especially in cases of runaway marriages, there’s a bit more to consider. Suppose there’s an immediate threat to life and liberty. In that case, the couple needs to get a court order for protection and also seek direction from the marriage registrar to register their marriage. Our skilled lawyers in Chandigarh at B&B Associates LLP are here to assist you with that.

We’ve got qualified love/court marriage registration lawyers in Chandigarh, who can guide you to genuine institutions authorized to issue certificates recognized by the court. In cases where love takes the form of a runaway marriage, and there’s a fear of honor killing, our lawyers take extra care. They make sure to secure an appropriate order from the Honorable High Court of Punjab and Haryana to protect the couple.
